Comox Valley
The Comox Valley has its own rhythm: postings that bring new families to CFB Comox, skiers on Mount Washington in winter, riders on Cumberland's trails in summer, and a long list of homes that need building and fixing. We build fast, hand-coded websites for the businesses that serve all of them.
Each of these has a different customer and a different search. The site should start from that, not from a template.
New arrivals at CFB Comox know nobody in town and search for everything: dentists, daycares, movers, mechanics, realtors. They search from a phone at a new address, so your site has to say plainly where you are, what you do and how to book.
Ski and bike shops, guides, rentals and lodging tied to Mount Washington, Cumberland's trails and the lakes. Seasonal schedules, booking, and photos that load quickly.
The Valley keeps building. Contractors need service pages for Courtenay, Comox and Cumberland, a gallery of local jobs and a quote form that asks the right questions.
Restaurants, bakeries, breweries and farm stands. Hours, menus and seasonal products that people find on Google Maps and check before driving out.
Athecon Projects is a construction company that lists Courtenay in its service area. Their portfolio includes a daycare, several multifamily buildings and curved retaining walls in Courtenay, plus vacation homes near Saratoga Beach. We built their site so each project is shown with its town and its scope, which gives Google a reason to connect them with Courtenay searches, not only with their own name.
If you run a trade in the Valley, our page on websites for contractors goes into the details: what belongs on the first screen, how to show projects, and how to ask for reviews.
Courtenay, Comox and Cumberland sit close together, but people search them separately. A homeowner in Comox types “electrician Comox”, not “electrician Comox Valley”. A site that covers the Valley should have a clear section or page for each town you serve, written for that town, instead of one page with all three names in the footer.
Newcomers also search by need and landmark: “daycare near the base”, “bike shop Cumberland”, “dentist downtown Courtenay”. Nobody ranks for everything, but a site with clear headings, honest service areas and a Google Business Profile that matches it has a fair chance. Our local SEO service and the article on why a business is missing from Google Maps explain the method.
We are in Nanaimo, a little over an hour south on Highway 19, so most of the work is remote. It is set up that way on purpose.
We talk through what you sell, who buys it and what your current site gets wrong. You get a fixed written quote.
We send a short list of what we need: photos, services, service areas, prices if you publish them. Copywriting is CAD $90 per page if writing is the part you dread.
Two rounds of design changes, then a hand-coded build. You review everything on a private link from your phone.
Domain, Search Console, Analytics and structured data set up on launch day. When a visit makes a difference, we drive up.
“Great communication, easy to do business with, great results!”
The same as anywhere else we work. CAD $790 for one page, CAD $970 to $2,000 for a Starter site, CAD $2,500 to $4,500 for a Business site built for local leads, and CAD $4,500 and up for online stores. Half to start, half at launch, and the domain and code are yours. See the full pricing, or read about web design in Parksville and Qualicum Beach, the next stop south.
Before you start, the website project checklist lists everything worth gathering, so the build is not held up waiting for photos or service descriptions.
The studio is based in Nanaimo and works with businesses across Courtenay and Comox and the communities around it. Find us on the map, read the reviews and request a quote.
